Mike Flynn on His Royal Highness the Dear Leader

“The Thing That Used to be Liberalism has fallen on hard times indeed, when they are the biggest supporters of rule-by-decree. “

Watching liberals get in touch with their Inner Red King when democracy and the views of hoi polloi get in the way of their sheer awesome correctness about everything is a sight to behold.  Obama’s open and obvious distaste with the tedium of having to let other people have a say in the process of governance has never been even thinly veiled.  Now it is made clear that most of his base feel the same way.  I wonder how long it will take before de facto becomes de jure.

It’s moments like this I recall Chesterton’s remark that a tyranny is almost always a tired democracy.
